Becasue am being living with a really old card(geforce 4 mx 440) i never really cared about all this.
See here:
Support for Microsoft®DirectX®9.0 programmable vertex and pixel shaders in hardware
DirectX®9.0 Vertex Shaders
Vertex programs up to 65,280 instructions with flow control
Single cycle trigonometric operations (SIN & COS)
DirectX®9.0 Extended Pixel Shaders
Up to 1,536 instructions and 16textures per rendering pass
2nd generation F-buffer technology accelerates multi-pass pixel shader programs with unlimited instructions
32 temporary and constant registers
Facing register for two-sided lighting
128-bit, 64-bit & 32-bit per pixel floating point color formats
Multiple Render Target (MRT) support
Complete feature set also supported in OpenGLĂƒ‚®via extensions
It does not say pixel shader 3.0 or any thing so am not sure what pixel/vertex shader it has.
Also i got a 300 watt psu and cnet says it needs 300-350 watts.
Do remember this is a generic brand psu.
